Balts: Russia will crush us at once, no NATO will help
Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite is seriously scared of the possibility of an attack by Russia on her small but proud country. In an interview with the famous German magazine Der Spiegel, she expressed such concerns, emphasizing that Russian forces located on the border with the Baltic states and Poland are ten times superior to the forces of the NATO bloc.
In order to counter such a “threat”, Mrs. Grybauskaite believes that Lithuania should be ready to defend itself. On the one hand, she recognized Russia's military superiority, and on the other, she said that the Lithuanians were ready to defend themselves against any enemy. As she put it, “mentally, politically, technologically” and even “heart and soul”.
- she said.
In addition, it seems to the President of Lithuania that Western states are too soft on Russia:
However, Grybauskaite is far from the first time accusing Russia of the intention to attack its country. In fact, if Moscow had such a desire, such plans could have been implemented for a long time already. There is only one problem - “insidious” Russia is not eager to attack Lithuania, as well as Estonia and Latvia. So, on one of the previous statements of the Lithuanian president, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Euronews TV channel stressed: the idea of Russia's plans to attack any Baltic country can arise “only in an inflamed brain”.
And now the statements of this lady have been commented on by Russian deputies and senators. So, Alexander Babakov, deputy chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the Council of the Federation of the Russian Federation, told RT:
And according to the chairman of the Information Committee policy Federation Council Alexei Pushkov, the President of Lithuania makes such statements in order to attract the attention of the world community. In a good way, one should not scare Lithuanians with imaginary threats, but deal with the real problems of citizens. For example, pay attention to the outflow of the population, otherwise in the near future and do not have to invade the territory of Lithuania.
From her country, Russian State Duma Deputy Speaker Irina Yarovaya called Grybauskaite’s statements a “fake game” that has nothing to do with protecting international law and security. She also recalled that it was the multinational Soviet people who saved the world from fascism.
- emphasized Yarovaya.
Alexander Sherin, deputy chairman of the Duma’s Defense Committee, sees another aspect of the problem: Grybauskaite actually wants NATO countries to increase their grouping near the borders with Russia.
He told reporters on RT.
Earlier, Sergey Lavrov spoke about the same thing: similar russophobic rhetoric is used precisely in order to justify the strengthening of NATO troops near the Russian borders.
Thus, it is really not only a woman’s hysteria, but an attempt by Western countries (and, above all, the United States) to strengthen their dominance in a world that is actually waning every day.

If we show that we can and want to protect ourselves, then no one will attack us

Only when they are attacked, and they notice that Russia interferes in their interests, spies on them or manipulates their elections, do they wake up

One can only regret that the head of state is a man who has such thoughts

As president, she does not need to poison the soul and heart of the Lithuanian people with black lies and Russophobia
- emphasized Yarovaya.

Absolutely, this text was put into her head and she just pronounces it. The best guarantee of security of states adjacent to Russia is the absence of troops of other countries on their territory
